this sword is great

Damn right Blizzard suck, why do they give way better weps to everyone in the game, but not to raiders. i do have both arena fist and dagger and i also have Talon and i was waiting to get the new oh sword. But my question to Blizzard is, only 1 rogue has Talon on are server( alliance side ) me :-), so their for it is very hard to get. and why would a raider have to pvp to the weps he need to raid with. raiding weps are harder to get so it should = better reward

don t get me wrong i love arena and PvP, im just saying that raiding is harder their for rewards should be better. it just suck s to see a noob wearing all greens with 2 epic weps :-(

this sword is the best rogue offhand available at this point and costing only 1125 arena points it is well worth the effort

BTW the only better swords are both from Black Temple

Comment by Crelyar

Does anybody know if the skin is still the same? (as Gladiator's Quickblade)

Cubanpunk09 This isn't the best off hand rogue sword. http://www.wowhead.com/?item=32369 is better but for non-raiding this is the best sword you can get. It also Costs 1294 points.

Crelvar It has the same skin as the other Gladiator's weapons. (Quickblade)

They need to nerf these arena weapons for the sake of the raiders. To get something of this equivalence in raiding you would have to be in SSC and TK.

For any rogue with shiv build, this thing is a godsend. Very cheap, even a sh!tty arena team would be able to buy one of these in a few weeks. 1125pts for a weapon that serves more purpose than your mainhand does is insane.

If you are lazy enough, 4 weeks of losing in 5v5 should give you enough for this sword.

Hey im just asking, Is it worth having mongoose on this 1 and get another MH sword from like : Kara or something, coz i got the mats for it very very soon,

but no good MH, will go spec swords laterz when i got 2 swords, but will it proc much even if i got mongoose in offhand?

Comment by tahrjin

offhand weapons do not have a lower miss rate, the only reason they proc less is because the majority of special attacks come from the main hand weapon. also with a PPM based proc rate, a faster weapon procs less often than a slower weapon.

For those who do not do Arena, you will be able to get Akil'zon's Talonblade from Akil'zon (Eagle Avatar), the 2nd boss in Zul'aman, which is a 1.5 speed sword 95.7 DPS, +52 AP, +18 haste rating, +25 Stamina.

latest update from patch 2.3, this cost 1125 arena points, if you need to find out how many arena points you'll earn this week or what team rating you need for 1125 arena points, there is a great Arena Calculator that can do both ways, converting rating->points and points->rating, the calculator is located at: http://www.ratingarenapoints.com

Been saving up for this, took me 2 weeks of 2v2 3v3 and 5v5 teams, although I am not too hot in the arena so our rating was in the toilet about 1440 each team.

I have a bit contrary response to the acquire time on this. Sure it may have took me 2 weeks to get, but it sure wasn't 5 weeks. Slapped a mongoose on this and away I went, proc's less than the MH version of this, but that is to be expected due to the fact that abilities such as Bloodthirst, and Mortal Strike, take the MH'ed sword as the damage dealing weapon.
